Instrumental Music

Welcome to the web page for the BFHS Bands! We have a strong tradition of excellence in all of our curricular music ensembles.

Concert Band: is a course designed for incoming freshmen. We build strong musicianship skills and a unified set of musical knowledge.

Wind Ensemble: is an advanced band for sophomores through seniors. We study advanced repertoire including modern works to the classics. We build strong skills and encourage students to enroll in private lessons and pursue honor band opportunities outside the school day.

Jazz Band: is an advanced level course with enrollment by audition only. Auditions are held in January of each year and materials can be obtained from Mr. Raskin. We study big band style, funk, rock, be-bop and blues with an emphasis placed on improvisation and independence.

Co-Curricular Ensembles

Pep Band/Marching Band: All members of any band at BFHS are automatically members of the pep band. The band performs at all home football games, two volleyball, and 10 basketball games throughout the school year.

This ensemble is not graded, however notification from the parent/guardian of a student's absence is required.

All students at BFHS may participate in this co-curricular ensemble.

Pit Orchestra: Accompanying the musical, the pit orchestra delivers sweet sounds that enhance the acting, dancing and singing on stage. If you're interested in being a part of the pit orchestra, please contact Mr. Olson
